CARRINGTON (1995). Dora Carrington was a little known artist on the fringes of the Bloomsbury set. She fell in love with Lytton Strachey, a fussy self-absorbed homosexual who was also a superb writer. He loved her too, and they formed a peculiar, idiosyncratic and intimate relationship, living together till they died. In this excellent film, Emma Thompson and Jonathan Pryce are outstanding as Carrington and Strachey, and I can’t think of another film that portrays that period so well. Above all, it’s a love affair that is intensely moving.
